Answer:
<h2>A) y = -5x - 8</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:
m - slope
(x₁, y₁) - point on a line
We have the slope m = -5, and the point (-1, -3). Substitute:
Convert to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
<em>use the distributive property</em>
<em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>
Answer:
<h2>x = 7</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
x + 20 = 5x + -8
Reorder the terms:
20 + x = 5x + -8
Reorder the terms:
20 + x = -8 + 5x
Solving
20 + x = -8 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
20 + x + -5x = -8 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: x + -5x = -4x
20 + -4x = -8 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
20 + -4x = -8 + 0
20 + -4x = -8
Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + -4x = -8 + -20
Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + -4x = -8 + -20
-4x = -8 + -20
Combine like terms: -8 + -20 = -28
-4x = -28
Divide each side by '-4'.
x = 7
Simplifying
x = 7
P = s + (s + 5) + (s + 5) This represents the two sides that are 5 inches longer than the base (s + 5) and the base (s).
Simplifying.
100 = 3s + 10
subtract 10 from both sides
90 = 3s
divide both sides by 3
30 = s
base = 30
sides = 35
CHECK 30 + 35 + 35 = 100
With adding and subtracting fractions, you must find a common denominator. In multiplication, you just multiply numerator by numerator; denominator by denominator. In division, you multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the 2nd. In multiplication and division, finding a common denominator is not needed.
